The feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump was unfortunate and has forced many -- who never thought it could happen -- to take sides as the two men battled it out for several days.
According to Newsmax, Vice President J.D. Vance finally weighed in on the ongoing situation. Vance, typically a voice of reason and the calm one in the room, held nothing back when he stated that Musk made a "huge mistake" in going so hard after President Trump.
In an interview that was released Friday, after Trump and Musk both dropped several shocking bombs, Vance seemingly downplayed Musk's attacks, calling him an "emotional guy."
Vance is also one of the many Republican voices hoping that Trump and Musk can find a way to mend fences, as the two were a powerhouse team just weeks ago.
In the interview, Vance expressed his wish that Trump and Musk can find a way to work together again and make things right, adding the caveat that it may not be possible given how far Musk went.
"I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that’s not possible now because he’s gone so nuclear," the vice president said.
Musk's frustrations with Trump were reportedly over his "big, beautiful bill," which Musk, the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claims was still filled with government pork.
However, many also believe that Musk isn't happy that the bill slashes EV credits -- credits that have a real impact on Tesla's profits and other future implications.
Many say Musk went too far in his attacks on Trump over a several-day period.
Newsmax noted:
Musk, who runs electric vehicle maker Tesla, internet company Starlink and rocket company SpaceX, lambasted Trump's centerpiece tax cuts and spending bill but also suggested Trump should be impeached and claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the president's association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
"Look, it happens to everybody," Vance said in the interview. "I’ve flown off the handle way worse than Elon Musk did in the last 24 hours."
Vance told interview host Theo Von that he thinks the feud could come to an end if Musk would just "chill out" a little.
"I actually think if Elon chilled out a little bit, everything would be fine," Vance said.
Trump's supporters now have a sour taste in their mouths over Musk's comments, and it'll be interesting to see if and when Musk tries to win back their support, or if he simply moves on.
